5 Tips to Declutter Your Maitland Home Daily

For a renter, a cluttered home can be a cause of tremendous discomfort and anger. Yet the task of decluttering a home can look like a never-ending battle with your stuff. Instead of just moving things around, experts suggest applying a few specific strategies to help you declutter your home a little bit every day. Furthermore, by taking these five simple suggestions, you can avoid clutter from your Maitland home for good.

  1. Start Small

If you push yourself to declutter your entire house in a day, that’s a perfect way to get stressed – with nothing to change. In the meantime, start small. Set aside 5 or 10 minutes every day and focus on removing clutter from a single area. For the next few days, you will begin to see a significant effect on the amount of clutter in your house.

  1. Give Unused Items Away

Everybody has unused items that only take up space in our homes and closets. Try choosing just one item to give away each day. That will add up to 365 items in a year. To know which clothes you need to keep and which you can give, try this simple trick: turn all of your hangers in the reverse direction. As you wear each item, turn the hangers back the correct way. After a few months, gather up everything you haven’t worn and donated them.

  1. Use a Trash Bag

If you’re up for something of a challenge, you could try the trash bag approach. To use this procedure, get a large trash bag and walk through the house, trying to find things you don’t use or need any longer. Occupy the bag as fast as you can, then donate the items or send them up.

  1. Create a Decluttering Checklist

Decluttering your home every day is a lot simpler because you have clearly defined tasks. Furthermore, you can manage your progress by checking off every object as it gets done. Using a checklist like this one, focus on decluttering a little bit at a time, for just a few minutes per day.

  1. Use the Box Method

One solution to declutter an area immediately is to use the box method. Get several boxes and label them with terms like Keep, Give Away, Trash, or Re-Locate. Going one room at a time, take each item in the room and place it into one of the boxes. Don’t stop until every single item is in a box. Then follow through by donating, re-locating, or throwing away the items in the corresponding box. Another alternative to this approach is to have baskets belonging to each member of the household. When the baskets are already full, that person must then put their items away in their respective places every day. In these ways, you can declutter your entire house one box or basket at a time.

 

No matter which decluttering tip you begin with, by using them, it is possible to get the clutter in your house under control and keep it to a minimum every day.
